Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I used to use a mix of bag balm with some sprinkles of cayenne pepper, and rub my feet, then put on socks. From my ankles up i have terrible sweats at night, it's part of the Lyme disease, but my feet feel like ice cubes, due to nerve damage in my spine, the circulation seems fine enough. The pepper works, I dont know if you can get bag balm where you live, its a local product that farmers have used for decades, but the cayenne can also be mixed with olive or coconut oil, (probably better anyway) . It should heat up your tootsies good. I tried silk sheets, they do not hold up with a washing and drying, and the way I sweat, there is a need to change them daily. They make sheets now with bamboo, I have not tried them yet, they are supposed to be the best for hot sleepers.
Thanks I'll try the cayenne. I prefer oils and I'm sure I can find it it's called arnica in the medicinal world (I say cayenne also). I've considered taking cayenne in capsules turmeric doesn't help much like it does with the majority of people. I've got fibromyalgia and other chronic pain problems including nerve pain. I hadn't thought of nerves making feet cold that's a great tip. I've been considering bamboo sheets. I love jersey knit sheets but can't find any locally. Bamboo clothes are so soft!
